A mate of mine met him a few times, described him as a thoroughly unpleasant man away from his tv persona. I heard exactly the same from a guy who knew him.

He made alot of guys and gals happy ! Apparently ! And I started smoking cigars because it looked cool as he did once over ( I stopped again recently). Funny what is acceptable. Smoking in the underground and on planes was ok, as well as Jimmy sitting kids on his knee with a big unlit cig on! (and Jim Davidson) hard to figure now. Abit like our F1 India thread. Now if there was something misspelt or abbreviated mmmm? R.I.P Jimmy

I'm old enough to remember him on TOTP before Jim'll fix it. Personally I always thought he was a . Not that he was alone in that, so was DLT, Noel Edmonds, Tony Blackburn...in fact, FFS Radio 1 DJs have always been knobs.

I'm sat here while Ms RK is watching today's Deal or no Deal, and I can categorically state that Noel Edmonds still is a [cloud9]...

Rumours of necrophilia as well One DJ said of him 'I don't take death threats very seriously but if it comes from Jimmy Saville, then I do'
Horsing around's a serious business.

Quite surprised that there was hardly any discussion on this topic on here. Can only lead one to conclude that everyone agrees with the way it has all panned out. Either that or the media frenzy has people so scared to even comment for fear of being implicated.
Is that alone not a subject worthy of comment?
There seems to have been hardy any decent FCCUK discussions - arguments of late. Everyone must be so content?

Attention twelve months ago! But obviously not as long as some. This was a hoax from 1999 was it not? I'm sure I heard a Paul Merton interview recently where he confirmed that. I am disgusted that if Saville was what he now stands accused of, that he got away with it. He died content with no regret. At first I kind of understood how people could have been afraid to come forward and expose him whilst he was alive. I, as I suspect many of you, thought it was perhaps a small number of meek people. The kind of victims you would expect a sick sod to target. This was one reason why I could accept that even when someone did publically challenge Saville with previous allegations, and Police investigations, these people still didn't come forward to the police and support their fellow victim. However as weeks have gone by and this number has swelled to over 300 alledged victims I find it most unusual that none of these 300 took an oppotunity to speak up. Many of those who have now found a voice seem to be far from the meek victims. Some say they have spent their life hating Saville with some seeming pleased he has now been exposed and his reputation destroyed. My colleague attended a few TOTP screenings and said Saville was there. He has suggested he too could say he was a victim and that there is nobody who could now challenge that. For me it seems quite clear that something has gone on with this odd Saville fellow. Am I alone in seeing it all as a bit of a witch hunt before any "evidence" has been presented though? I suspect there will be evidence and would hope that this evidence is taken to form part of some sort of legal process that gives a definitive legal outcome. I remain massively uncomfortable with trial by media, based upon rumour and accusations rather than burdon of proof. I am especially suspicious considering most of the media have spent years exposing peoples sexual exploits of minor celebs, but failed to expose this aledged illegal sexual behaviour. Shame on you the British media.

I think Jim summed it up nicely there. Not much to debate to my mind.

He was a wrong 'un that was allowed to get away with it because he was "famous". The term "Allowed" tends to suggest many people knew and overlooked. People keep talking about rumours, surely it is rumours that spark journalists into exposing all manner of things. How could everyone involved in the media ignore these rumours? I couldn't accept that Rantzen woman saying she had heard rumours. Surely someone in her position would have done everything she could to have got to the bottom of these rumours whilst the man was alive. To come out and say what she has after he has died is almost as sick as the allegations against him. She set herself up as a child champion, it would seem she was far from that!

Totally agree with that Bob.
